We bought 3 3/4 pound bags of bird seed. a. what is the total weight of the birdseed they bought? b. if each smaller bag contains 1 1/2 pounds, how many bags can they make? c. will there be any birdseed
left over? .

The correct answers are:

A)  2 1/4 pounds; B) 1 full bag; C) yes, 3/4 of a pound.

Explanation:

Purchasing three 3/4 pound bags gives us 3(3/4) = (3/1)(3/4) = 9/4 = 2 1/4 pounds of bird seed.

Since each small bag would hold 1 1/2 pounds, we divide to find the number of bags we can make:

2 1/4 ÷ 1 1/2 = 9/4 ÷ 3/2 = 9/4 × 2/3 = 18/12 = 1 6/12 = 1 1/2

This means we can make 1 bag and have enough for half of another bag.  Half of a 1 1/2 pound bag is:

1/2(1 1/2) = 1/2(3/2) = 3/4 of a pound.
